German Beauty Offshoulder Maillot Pantoloon

Faux beach, Germany
c. 1905 GB0550

Costume
   String tie shoulder straps horizontal striped maillot pantaloon. Almost a strapless.

   TL. Cleavage. Shoulder.

Actions
   This curiously-framed bathing beauty reclines on her side on her towel. Her neckline is scooped and string strapped, and her left shoulder strap has fallen offshoulder (1).

Commentary
   This is a very hot exposure, and is this may be a gal whose limits are being pushed...or doing nude postcards across town. But as a bathing fantasy this is pushing the limits.
   This German 1905 sexual aggressive is décolletage, barelegged, and her string straps have a way of falling offshoulder. A bathing maillot with nothing more and nothing less, exportable.
